School Bus Driver Suspended In Corbin
KENTUCKY...
A bus driver in southeastern Kentucky has been suspended for leaving a sleeping child on a parked school bus.
Corbin Independent Schools Superintendent Ed McNeel told The Times-Tribune in Corbin that the driver was suspended for five days with pay and given a written reprimand.
McNeel said the driver only walked halfway back through the bus during a mandatory check last week before leaving it parked for the night. He said the child awoke about 10 minutes later and left the bus. Corbin Primary School Principal Travis Wilder saw the child and provided care until the parents arrived.
McNeel declined to name the driver, but said the person showed remorse and was willing to cooperate with extra steps to prevent another incident.
